Martial Arts Godhood: At the Start, Rebels Asked Me to Be an Undercover Agent

"Seventh Middle School," Xiao Wang replied.

"No wonder, have you never learned combat skills?"

"What are combat skills?" Xiao Wang asked Wei Zhongxing, puzzled.

"What kind of teacher is he? Someone who wants to apply to a martial arts academy doesn't even know combat techniques." Wei Zhongxing couldn't help but curse after hearing Xiao Wang's words. "Although firearms are being used more and more, it doesn't mean that martial arts have declined."

Wei Zhongxing then asked, "You taught yourself all of that?"

"The school has teachers who teach martial arts."

"He doesn't even know combat skills, and he doesn't teach them. It's as good as nothing. You have good talent, kid. You can come and learn from me."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately knelt down before Wei Zhongxing, saying, "Disciple greets Master."

"Get up quickly. I never said I wanted to be your master. I only said you can come and learn from me, but the tuition fee is non-negotiable."

"Tuition is not a problem, but why...?"

"Why do you ask? Do you still want to apply to Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy?"

"Disciple understands." Xiao Wang guessed that it was still related to his expulsion from Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy, so he did not ask any further questions.

"Master, how much is the tuition?"

"Ten thousand federal dollars a month."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang felt a sudden toothache, knowing that Zhou Zhengxiong only rested for two days a month and his salary was only 5000 Federal Dollars.

"Master, could you offer a discount?"

"If you think it's too much, then get lost. I'm only worth this price."

"Okay, I'll pay for one month first, starting today." Xiao Wang said, immediately taking out a ten-thousand-Federal Coin bill he had earned from previous drug trials and handing it over.

Wei Zhongxing reached out and took it, glanced at Xiao Wang, and inwardly groaned, "Damn it, he took out 10,000 Federal Dollars so easily, that's too low."

It was already dark by then.

Wei Zhongxing put away the money and asked Cheng Hu, "Is the food ready?"

"Almost done, just stir-fry some edamame and we can have dinner."

"Let's eat here, and I'll introduce you two senior brothers to each other," Wei Zhongxing said to Xiao Wang.

"Thank you, Master."

"You're welcome, you've already paid."

"Does Master have a phone? I'll call home and tell him."

"Inside," Wei Zhongxing pointed to the inside of the main room.

Xiao Wang went inside, picked up the phone and made a call home, briefly speaking with Qin Fengying.

"Be careful on your way back," Qin Fengying said before hanging up the phone.

After finishing his phone call, Xiao Wang went to the kitchen to help Cheng Hu.

Meanwhile, Wei Zhongxing and Linghu Ke were talking about something in the main room.

While helping out, Xiao Wang whispered to Cheng Hu, "Senior Brother Cheng, how much is your tuition?"

While cooking, Cheng Hu replied, "Go ask Master."

Xiao Wang: ? ? ?

"Senior Brother Cheng, you see, we're fellow disciples now. I just want to ask, the main thing is, I've already paid the money, haven't I? Even if you said so, you can't give it back, can you?"

As Cheng Hu scooped the food out of the pot, he replied, "I don't need to pay."

"what?"

Before Xiao Wang could ask why, Cheng Hu continued, "I was raised by my master."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wang immediately understood.

"I see."

"You don't understand," Cheng Hu retorted, a rare occurrence, but didn't continue.

"I was also an adopted orphan, I understand."

"No, you don't understand," Cheng Hu retorted once again.

And he was not at all surprised that Xiao Wang was an adopted orphan.

Xiao Wang didn't know what he meant, but he didn't press the matter. Everyone has their own story, and if he didn't want to talk about it, asking would be pointless.

The meal was quickly prepared, and the four of them sat down at a table in the main room. Wei Zhongxing sat at the head of the table, Cheng Hu and Linghu Ke sat on either side, and Xiao Wang sat at the bottom.

"Go get a bottle of wine. We've added someone today, so we should have a drink," Wei Zhongxing said.

Cheng Hu immediately got up, took out a bottle of Fengyangchun tea, and poured a glass for each of the four people.

Wei Zhongxing picked up his wine cup and introduced everyone to Xiao Wang: "This is your eldest brother, Cheng Hu; this is your second brother, Linghu Ke; my name is Wei Zhongxing; and your name is Xiao Wang, right?"

"Yes."

"Come on, welcome to my Zhongxing Martial Arts School."

After Wei Zhongxing finished speaking, he tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp.

"Thank you, Master and Senior Brother." Xiao Wang also drank it all in one gulp.

"My Zhongxing Martial Arts School doesn't have many rules and regulations. We just lend a hand when we take on a business order."

"This disciple will certainly do his utmost."

The meal was very enjoyable, and Cheng Hu's cooking skills were quite good; you could tell he cooked often.

After finishing their meal, the group sat at the entrance of the main room.

The searchlights on the inner city wall occasionally swept across the rooftops, emitting a bright light.

Xiao Wang looked at Wei Zhongxing and asked, "Master, you said before that absolute muscle control isn't important, so why does Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy still test it?"

"When did I say it wasn't important? I only said it wasn't important before the first limit. But what kind of place is Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy? It's the highest martial arts academy in the entire outer city of Yuanshan City. The goals of the people it trains are naturally different from ours. To break through the limits of martial arts, absolute control of the muscles is extremely important."

"For example, your senior brother Cheng Wu, whom you just experienced firsthand, who do you think is stronger?"

"Of course it's my senior brother," Xiao Wang replied.

"So, do you think you have more muscles that can control the number of muscles, or does he have more?"

"I haven't tested it, so I don't know."

"He has a slight advantage now, but in the long run, you will definitely have more. Based on his size, it is unlikely that he will break through the first limit in his lifetime. This is determined by his physical condition. This is what is often referred to as martial arts talent. Even if you break through the first limit in the future, you may not be his opponent before the first limit. Even if you control the number far more than him in the future, it is not necessarily the case, because his strength far exceeds yours."

"However, when your absolute control quantity is infinitely close to the first limit, your speed, reaction, agility, eyesight, etc. will far surpass his. If you fight against him, you will be able to win easily. This is the effect of talent. The upper limit is high, and there will always be a moment when you will overtake and defeat your enemy."

"Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy's goal in training people is certainly not to merely cultivate disciples who fall within the first tier, understand?"

Xiao Wang nodded. "Understood."

"Today is your first day, so I'll teach you one of the most important things in martial arts. Do you know what the most important thing in martial arts is?"

Xiao Wang shook his head. "I don't know."

"The most important thing in martial arts is that when facing an enemy, you should not talk about martial ethics."

Xiao Wang: ? ? ?

"In martial arts combat, besides having the unwavering resolve to fight to the death, the rest is about not getting bogged down in the methods used. Victory and survival are your ultimate goals, understand?"

"Understood." Although Xiao Wang agreed verbally, he was thinking to himself that his master's expulsion from Yuanshan Martial Arts Academy as a teacher was perhaps not entirely unjust.

"Alright, go back now. I'll teach you combat techniques next time you come. You don't even know how to use combat techniques to get into a martial arts academy. What a piece of trash."
